Love Stories Over A Cup Of Coffee

Thirteen: Inner Feelings and Deep Thoughts

Why did I even asked him to go drinking with me? Now I have to carry him home.

"When did you get so heavy, Earth?" I asked him.

"P'Kao!!!" He responded shouting my name. I felt he start moving, which made it hard for me to maintain my balance. "P'Kao!!!" He said again. "P'Kao!!! Aren't you going to answer?" I felt his head leaned on my shoulder.

"What? What do you want?" I asked him. He started moving again. "Yah! Earth! Don't move! Otherwise you'll fall!" I warned him.

"P'Kao! You're such a boring fiancé!"I did not answer.

I was busy looking for a place where we can rest for a while. Ugh. None of us brought our cars today. I had to rush to the hospital this morning that I didn't have the time to get my car out, I just took the a cab. As for Earth, I didn't know why he didn't bring his car.

"P'Kao!!! Be a fun and exciting fiancé, pleaseeeeeee!!!!" He said as I put him down. I saw a park along the way. This is the first time a saw this park, maybe because this is the first time we took this route.

"What do you want to do?" I asked him as I sat down beside him.

"P'Kao, bring me to movies!!! Let's shop!!! Let's go on datesssssss." He said as if he is sulking. "I really want to go on dates!!! I want to enjoy!!! Na~~~~ na~~~" he said as he grabbed my arm and hugged it.

"Why do you want to go on dates?" I asked him. He never asked me to ask him to go anywhere. He has always been the one asking me to go with him. This made me realise, I never asked him to go with me, like have fun.

"Phi, of course I want to feel that I have a fiancé. I mean, we are pretending but...can't you make me feel the magic???" He said as he still hugs my arm. "I mean, men never brought me to good dates. They're always a mess. I want a happy, soft date. You know, going here and there, doing what ordinary couples do."

"You always loved going out on dates." I reminded him. He nodded.

"But all those dates never made my heart flutter." He said, and started crying.

"Yah, why are you suddenly crying?" He tightens his grip on my arm as he cried louder.

"Because...because...despite making myself this good-looking" he was so pround when he said that, "despite making myself a good interior designer, despite working so hard to earn the trust and respect of others, none of my dates have treated me well, and made me feel special. Well, except for Title. But Title left. Soooo" then he started crying again, this time louder.

All I could do at that moment was to pat his head, and tell him not to cry.

I let out a sigh.

"Earth, why do you keep doing this to yourself? Have you forgotten how strong you are? Have you forgotten, loving yourself is the first step of finding genuine love? Why do you keep on looking for love in others when you can always find that love within you?" I told him. Unfortunately, he's already asleep.

Earth woke up just in time. I brought him a hangover soup. He has severe hangovers, so I thought of preparing a soup for him. When he doesn't have hangover, he's so much in a bad mood so I didn't let my guard down, I don't want to get shouted at early this morning.

"P'Kao, did I say something last night?" He asked me as I put down the bowl of soup on the floor.

I shook my head.

"Really?" Of course, he couldn't believe he did not say anything last night because when he is drunk, he always get in trouble.

"Well, you were quite noisy." I informed him. He gave me a puzzled look. "You were shouting and blabbering last night,you almost woke up everyone in the area. Here," I handed him the bowl of soup."eat it while it's hot."
